 sRound About to Moscow is the story of an epicurean journey by John Bell Bouton The writer is not in sympathy with that cen sure of Russian institutions and aims which
 is the burden of so many English books and magazines. He does not go out of the way to praise Russia or to do her more than the simple justice which belongs to everything At the same time he holds that the best preparation for crossing the Russian frontier is to throw away every English volume which speaks of the country. Russia may safely challenge the rest of Europe to exhib it parallel in the social and political prog ress which she has made in the last thirty years. A stay in Russia is one of the most agreeable episodes of one's trip abroad. It be to his readers D. Appleton & Co.,, pub fishers. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

 Some time since sfThe Rear Guard of the Revolution appeared and caused sensation in historical and literary circles. Now ''John Sevier as a Commonwealth Builder" comes as sequel to it and is equal to if it does not surpass it's predecessor. It is by the same author, James R. Gilmore. The work goes over later and more thoroughly titled ground than the ''Rear Guard, and is consequently based upon wider range of authorities. It cannot but stimulate interest in the character it delineates and lead to thoughts which will do more efficient justice to his memory. D. Appleton & Co.,, pub fishers, New York.
